- Electric Bubblegum pigment
- Fizzy Lemonade pigment
- Tangerine Wow pigment, and
- Merlot Sparkle Mica.
I wanted to make a 4 color swirl (5 if you count the titanium dioxide I added to the batch to make it whiter) in the slab mold. Because I wanted to have as much time as possible to do the swirling, I modified my soap recipe a bit.
I used lard instead of palm oil as my “hard” oil – lard is slower to trace than palm I took the castor oil out of the recipe – castor oil makes soap recipes get to trace much faster.
I also used a higher amount of water than I usually use. I usually use 2 times the lye amount. For this recipe, I used 2.25 the lye amount.
So my recipe for the soap was:
- 39% olive oil
- 35% coconut oil
- 15% lard
- 8% sunflower oil
- 3% cocoa butter
or
- 13.2 ounces olive oil
- 11.9 ounces coconut oil
- 5 ounces lard
- 2.7 ounces sunflower oil
- 1 ounce cocoa butter
- 10.9 ounces water
- 4.87 ounces lye
- 1 tablespoon titanium dioxide
- 1 teaspoon each of the pigments and mica
- 1.5 ounces of essential oil blend
